AWS cost optimization with AI: a practical guide
Use AI to sort an AWS bill into likely waste, then verify each finding with real usage data before you act.
Where AI helps and where it does not
- It helps with grouping thousands of bill lines by service and spotting patterns like idle or unattached resources.
- It does not know your workload. A quiet instance may be a standby you need.
A safe workflow
- Export a Cost and Usage Report.
- Run an automated scan for candidate waste.
- Check each candidate in CloudWatch or Compute Optimizer.
- Change one thing at a time through your normal approval process.
Try it on your own bill
CloudCostAI reads a billing export file (AWS Cost and Usage Report, GCP billing export or Azure usage CSV) and returns findings with fix steps. It needs no access to your cloud account. Free: one report a month. Pro $29/month, Team $99/month, or a one-time audit for $179 (current plans, checked 2026-10-27).
Findings are estimates from billing lines, not utilisation metrics. Check each one against usage and service needs before changing anything.
